    Im a mom of three (soon to be four) and have been living abroad the last ten years. We aren’t “missionaries” in the traditional sense. I’ve just started listening to this podcast and really enjoy listening while cooking and doing the daily grind. I love the intentional conversations and variety! Haven’t found anything else like it to date. Very needed. Thank you for your persistence in creating great content.
